NCIS season 14 casts Rizzoli & Isles fan favorite for powerful guest spot
Specifically, Rogers is going to be appearing on the show as a part of the Honor Flight Network, which is a real-life organization that helps to transport veterans, free of charge, to Washington DC in order to visit memorials that pertain to their time overseas. It is a way for them to reflect on much of the sacrifice and service that they’ve done over the years. This is something that NCIS especially has done several times over their run. While this may be a fictional show, they take the commitment to supporting veteran causes seriously. They’ve featured many of them, with another recent example being a Michelle Obama appearance on the show to help further support military spouses and families. Hopefully, McGill’s appearance serves a further means to get the proper sort of attention out there.
In a statement, here is what new showrunners George Schenck and Frank Cardea had to say on the casting:
“We are pleased that Bruce McGill will be playing decorated Vietnam War veteran Henry Rogers … We have been huge fans of his going all the way back to his breakout performance as D-Day in the unforgettable comedy classic Animal House.”
Other news worth knowing
Yesterday, we took on and debunked the incredibly stupid story that was out there regarding Mark Harmon’s future on the show. Spread the story around, mostly because other outlets shouldn’t be able to report on matters such as the actor’s health potentially hurting his reputation.
NCIS is off the air for this coming week, but it will return in early March with further stories. Thanks to there only being so many episodes plus scheduling challenges (think college basketball), there are some off weeks coming in March.
